Welcome
Movement fascinates us, drives us, challenges us, and relaxes us.
We are interested in the highly complex interaction between the central nervous system and the human musculoskeletal system. Our goal is to better understand how human movement is generated, how it can be optimized, but also how it can be preserved or restored.
If you are also fascinated by the functions and adaptive capabilities of the human body and would like to learn more about how movement influences cognition, performance, well-being, and quality of life—welcome to our website!
Institute for Movement and Neuroscience
In the areas of teaching, research, and knowledge transfer, we focus on the initiation, facilitation, and optimization of movements. Movement is one of the most fundamental human activity.
Whether it concerns the movement behavior of children and adolescents, aspects of movement rehabilitation, improving the performance of elite Olympic and Paralympic athletes, supporting European astronauts, or the significance of movement on neurocognitive and neuroaffective states: We are driven to gain a better understanding and thereby to initiate future interventions that help shape societal developments.
